A middle-aged working woman who is also a mother wants to eat healthy to manage her weight and needs to check on how she is progressing towards her set goal of proper diet, nutrition and exercise because at her current work schedule she is getting busier day by day loosing up all her motivation and energy.

Once the prototypes were built, I conducted Usability testing with our prospective target users to gain insights upon their usability, their ease of accessibility, their visual/verbal responses, etc. This was important for us to validate the solution and make meaningful iterations wherever needed. 

Few important insights that stood out during this process were-

• How easy was it to log food and track daily intake? - The diary layout is clear and well-structured. The “Scan” feature looks exciting, but since it’s just a prototype, it’s unclear how it works. A short description or tooltip would be useful for users.

• Did you find the meal suggestions and search useful?- The meal cards look visually appealing, and the division into Planner, Recipes, and Supplements is a great idea. However, it would be even better with a filter option (e.g., filter by calories, prep time, or ingredients).

• Did you face any confusion when editing or deleting logged food entries? -There’s no clear option to edit or delete a food entry in the prototype. If a mistake happens, how do I fix it? A swipe-to-edit or delete feature would be useful.

​​

These above changes gave us the long term goals for DIETEzee, as to how it can evolve into a fully accessible, intuitive, and intelligent nutrition platform that simplifies food logging, enhances discoverability of meal options through smart filtering, and offers seamless control over user entries. The goal is to ensure a frictionless experience by integrating context-aware guidance (like tooltips) and dynamic interaction patterns (such as swipe-to-edit), all while supporting users in achieving their health goals confidently and efficiently.​​​​​​​​​
